History

Byakko

Shingyōji stands in Kitamon-cho as a nenbutsu practice hall where faith and practice walk together as one. Here, countless nenbutsu practitioners have entrusted themselves to Amitabha's Original Vow. The light of Other-Power (Tariki) fills this sacred place completely, fulfilling wishes that self-power alone cannot achieve. The harmony of faith and practice here shines as the absolute path to the Pure Land. Accumulated prayers of generations have filled this place with unsurpassable merit.
